like i mentioned... maybe not injecting deep enough... although you still have sterility issues...
You do have a point. It's possible as I was pushing the gear in i may have pulled the needle out just far enough to inject into adipose tissue. I was using 23gauge X 1.5 inch Terumo and for glute i push the needle all the way down and on quads leave approx. 1/8 of an inch. That doesn't change the fact that the other 4 injections were extremely painful and I did push the needle in far enough. But hey, i'm not here to bitch just to learn. I know pharm grade gear was probably the best option since i'm a newbie. Here is a recap of my injections. Also, I made 100% sure the processes were in a sterile environment.
Injection 1) Sust. 250 - horrible pain, major swelling. Seemed to happen after 24 hours and last 4-5 days. No redness though. Sterile abcess in my glute the size of a marble that has not gone away. No pain at this time.
Injection 2) Sust. 250 - horrible pain, major swellng. Redness that spread from my quads down to my knees and hams. Nearly went to ER but stuck it out. Temp. reached 101 degrees. Massaged and used ice/heat.
* discarded Sustanon.
Injection 3) Test Enthatate 300mg. (same UG company) - swelling, pain after 3rd day and got better.
Injection 4) Test Enthate 300mg. - this injection was done on the same quad in injection (2) which nearly sent me to ER. This time I had to go to the doctor today. He put me on Levaquin 500mg. and the swelling and redness spread all the way to my knee cap and now my calve is swollen. Pain is very minimal believe it or not. 2-3 day pain was worse but now just swelling. Doctor thinks its a skin infection and says if the Levaquin doesn't work I'll need to go to the hospital for intravaneous antibiotics.
Injection 5) Scheduled for Friday. Using another UG lab brand of Test 300 and will dilute in IBE steril cottonseed oil. If this one does not go smoothly i'm done. I'll finish my orals and that will be all she wrote. Hoping it works out.
* Strength is up although i feel handcapped in the gym. All injection done in complete sterile environment. I think i'm sensitive to the BA for sure. Anyone else have any ideas?
